I saw this sign while I was home visiting for the holidays. It was on the window of a drive-thru cigarette shop available at a gas station. I was trying to be inconspicuous when taking the shot (from the passenger seat) because I didn't want the people inside the store to think I was "casing" the joint! They had recently been robbed and the owner badly beaten. So this photo isn't the greatest, but it gets the point across. Besides, I was making my sister very nervous because she is a frequent shopper at this place!

I do remember when I was young (we'll say more than 40 years ago, but shhh, don't tell) my mother was sick with something and she would write a note for me to buy her cigarettes if I went to the corner store for her! The owners knew us well enough, but still...and I never took up smoking.

Picture is fine -- sad about the robbery. I remember a zillion years ago being sent to the store with a list and note and picking up a pack of cigarettes along with a loaf of bread or milk or whatever for my mom. Back then we might not have even needed a note. Thank Goodness that's changed.

About Me

I try to find humor every day and am grateful for the little things in life. I love to explore new places, try new foods, see new things, meet new people. I'm game to try anything, well ALMOST anything, once! I love to write, take photos, read, and watch movies.
